Chapter Thirteen

The Aeroflot jet descended towards Sheremetyevo Airport in Moscow, the capital of the Russian Federation. The flight had been a pleasant one, the Russian female flight attendants taking good care of him. Aeroflot had changed dramatically since the Soviet days, now flying state of the art aircraft and staffed with professional crews schooled in customer service. However, Rafe missed having Cecilia next to him, and the loss was unbearable. I’m going to make whoever did this to her pay! he thought murderously to himself. The flight had been delayed on the runway for some time due to unknown reasons, but the delay had given Rafe a lot of time to think. He had tried to draw out a diagram of everything he knew was going on and put the pieces together. Luckily the flight was not full, and he could spread out with his hastily jotted notes on the seat next to him. He was no closer to enlightenment, but he could feel the answer somewhere in the back of his brain. It just wasn’t part of his consciousness yet. The thought of this was maddening all the same. It was like waking from a vivid dream and trying in vain to remember what his mind had told him while asleep.

The monk’s comments about the visitors kept creeping back into his mind. Who are these people? Why did they want to come to a monastery in Ukraine? How can I find out more about them? Do they have Clare? He was being swept up by something that had been going on for a thousand years. Or longer? But why me? The questions kept coming that he couldn’t answer. Are they in Moscow as well? I guess I’m going to find out one way or the other.

Upon landing, the plane taxied for a long time. Eventually Rafe looked out the portal near his seat to find out what was going on. They had parked at the Aeroflot terminal, which was currently not being used and located across the airfield. There had been some type of fire on one of the parked commercial airliners. The top of the plane was burnt and fire trucks and crews were all around it. This was the reason for the delay. Soon, his aircraft was parked and then began to exit onto the tarmac. Buses were waiting to take them to the main Aeroflot concourse. A long drive and forty-five minutes later, Rafe was waiting at immigration for entrance into Russia.

He processed through customs and immigration quickly, as his bag was spit out immediately on the baggage claim conveyer belt. He had taken a chance and he felt the outside pocket of his sutcase. His pistol stock was safely inside. The remaining pieces were spread throughout the bag.

The first thing he noticed about Russia was the plethora of young, beautiful women in high heels strutting around the different boutiques. Rafe resisted the urge to have a coffee and people watch at one of the many small cafes sprinkled among the high-end retail shops dominating the airport interior.
